Dietary features of obesity
The diet should be developed individually for each patient, taking into account his professional activity, national and other characteristics. Dietary treatment is based on reducing energy intake with food and increasing energy consumption.
Very low-calorie diets are designed for rapid weight loss and must be followed under strict medical supervision.
In order not to experience a constant feeling of hunger, it is necessary to exclude products that stimulate appetite from the diet. These are strong broths, smoked food, pickles, marinades, spices, alcohol, spicy spices, any fried dishes.
Another way to suppress the feeling of hunger is to eat volumetric food, but with low caloric value. These are fruits, raw vegetables, warm tea without sugar, mousse, sambuca.
